Blog spam despite CAPTCHA
Feb 21, 2004
Remember my comments on blog spam and that I applied a simple CAPTCHA to stop the automated abuse? At the time In remarked that it would stop a bot but not the average turnip-head. It looks likenI’ve underestimated the number of turnip-heads out on the Internet and thendetermination of these cretins to make links. Canada and Bulgarianare unusually represented in the IP addresses of the postings. I delete the irrelevant messages as they appear but I’m contemplating a userid/password registration scheme to thwart crap comments. That would ruin what little- and there is very little- interactivity exists on this site but would also free me of having to clean up.
